The other day the IIHS released new results on the passenger side small overlap crash test and I thought it was weird that the cx9 wasn't included.

Did a tiny bit of digging and found that the cx9 was tested, maybe just not in this round of testing. But the cx9 looks like it performed very well, earning a good rating in the passenger small overlap, placing it with the top performers of this latest report.

The only thing keeping the cx9 away from a "top safety pick +" rating is a "good" rating on headlight performance, where the cx9 with the optional headlights only got "acceptable".
